I have been looking at the W3NQN filters recently, with an eye towards building
two sets, but I have found that high-voltage NPO caps are not as common as they
once were. Can anyone suggest a distributor that still handles either the
Tusonix parts referenced in NQN's article, or an equivalent substitute? Digi,
Mouser, Newark and Allied didn't seem to work.
